| Multichanneled amp question? It will not have any effect. | |

| Wiring confusion with JL sub and components Simple answer. 1. The manufacturer of the integrated amp has not chosen to accommodate a sub as an option because his market analysis told him that it was not cost effective.2.

| Wiring confusion with JL sub and components Surely, someone makes an inexpensive buffer/line driver these days. All it takes is a chip or two with connectors. Easy for DIY but I could not find one assembled from a quick Google except for car audio (http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Co... |
